Useful surface or ship sampling probably could
not be extended beyond 200 miles because of the
difficulty of delineating the pattern at such
distances and establishing the significance of the
sample in that pattern;
d, Some additional indication as to the behavior
of the cloud and fallout therefrom might be secured
through following that cloud out to several hundred
miles with AFOAT-1 type sampling aircraft (B-50's);
e, The cost of this effort would be approximately
five million collars for which neither the DOD nor
the AEC had the funds,
The group agreed that there
would be some gain in knowledge of local fallout
from such a program but felt that the gain would not
be by a large factor,
5, The group noted also that the HARDTACK shots were not a
type to give as useful data as were those from REDWING. ¢

6, The group also concluded that if the objective was to
determine world-wide fallout more accurately,
it would be better
to use such money and such means as could be made available to
measure directly the cloud, how it moved, and how it changed,
7. On July 24, Dr, Graves presented to the Commission the
DOD-JTF-7-DMA recommendation as to what the HARDTACK fallout
program should be.
He recommended that:
